I've posted this elswhere, but it fits here, too. One of my husband's co-workers is terriifed of the Burger King. So his boss keeps a Burger King mask in his office and occasionally goes to the co-worker's window and slooowly peeks in. My husband will be on the phone with him and hear, "OH SH*T!" Yup, it was the Burger King.

Remember that weird BK commercial that aired only once during the beginning of the Superbowl? The one with the huge contingent of dancing ladies dressed up as Whopper ingredients that piled on top of each other to create a sandwich?

They have their own website and you can create your own routine of dancing ingredients. I made mine with no bun and extra extra extra bacon.

Article:McDonald's and its competitors are trying to boost their cool quotient as they target teenagers and 20-somethings. That age group has fewer big expenses, such as mortgages, and more of a willingness to use disposable income try new products.

Oh really. So, some "cute" ad is going to make me want to eat there, eh?

I'm a 20-something. I've been McD and BK free since 2002. I avoid fast food like the plague. And guess what, I'm in shape and skinny because, like a good chunk of people my age, we don't mindlessly just shovel whatever food is placed in front of us into our mouths.

So, maybe they should instead work on making their food:

1) not taste like crap2) not loaded and dripping with fat3) not injected with all sorts of chemicals to achive the correct "taste"

That'll tie in well with their sponsored movie, American Burger, which will be the next installment in the American Pie films. There's special sauce, and then there's special sauce, if you get my drift.

This just goes to prove how out of touch McDonald's marketing has gotten. Not that it would help, as McDonald's food is disgusting. Burger King isn't much better but the people in charge at Burger King at least seem to live in the modern day ages, and I'm able to eat Burger King occasionally without throwing up. President of McDonald's thinks Ronald McDonald is cool?!!? Dude. He's the nerd who thinks he's cool. Sure he's cool, like Dustin Diamond, who is cool. or is he? It's rather pathetic that McDonald's is ripping off the cool "The King" Commercials.. Those commercials are great. Sure they're creepy.. but think about the message. In a world where we're scared of The Taliban, kids getting abducted and murdered, aids, super aids, rabid ghost dogs, and monkeys, The King is there to show us, sure he's a creepy ass guy, but he brings you a gift of oh, a breakfast sandwhich. See ? The world isn't so bad. The king's alright if you get to know him. Burger King's there for you, he's got your back!

Now what do these Ronald McDonald commercials tell us? That freaks will talk to a Ronald McDonald statue? I don't get it at all. McDonald's lacks heart. It is soulless. Burger King has a soul, a dark, evil soul, and he wears it on his sleeve, and, sure, as a Monarch, he can't always be a nice guy. But he'll do his best to make sure you get that whopper made your way.

McDonald's new advertising scheme has a very good chance of falling flat on its face. Many twenty-somethings have eatten at McDonalds before. If they don't eat there now, it is most likely due to the substandard product.

Advertising will never substitute the use of higher quality beef. If I wanted grade-K downer cows, well... I don't. 'nuff said.

Jack-in-the-Box and A&W's have a far superior product over McDonalds. Until that is reversed, no amount of advertising can bring me back.

/stopped eating at McDonalds when I was 10//usually eat there once every year or two///not by choice, either

about once every 3 years i get a craving for mcdonalds fish sandwich, other than that i never eat mcdonalds. the last time i ate mcdonalds (other than the fish) was probably around 1997. It's just gross, i always felt sick after.

Now I dont eat any fast food (well i like wendy's salads and a plain baked potato) but if i did it would never be mcdonalds. So screw their new ads!
